If you ever wonder why marginalised groups can find it hard to trust some self proclaimed allies here is a great example. His queerphobia is fine as is promoting hatred to marginalised communities even when faced with family being beaten up.
Since a homophobic attack on his niece, his party has introduced multiple anti-LGBTQIA+ policies and the UK has fallen steeply in human rights rankings

Despite the headline, this article pretty well gets across we are just trying to get on with our lives. I wouldn't say dragged, more just a tired / exasperated response as a host of light entertainment which features LGBTQIA+ people sometimes.

This kickstarter is not specifically queer but in an update it does highlight a queer traditional tale from Wales. Course looks interesting to me just because I enjoy folk tales.
Hooray! We are past 50% in our campaign. Thank you, everyone!
Today Cheryl is off to Aberystwyth for the October Queer Lit Quarterly meeting. In honour of that, today's update tells the very queer story of our cover. (Content warning for sexual assault.)
